You lied about Osinbajo, produce your evidence – Akande fires back at Babachir Lawal

Former presidential aide Laolu Akande has vehemently denied former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, claiming that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo appointed Christians from Lawal's church to key government positions. Lawal alleged that Osinbajo's key appointments during his time as Vice President were Christians from a specific church, citing a fabricated list of 28 names.

However, Akande dismissed the allegations as a total fabrication and challenged Lawal to provide evidence of the said list. Akande, a former Special Assistant on Media and Publicity in the Office of the Vice President, recounted his experience working in the Vice President's office and emphasized that there was no three-month waiting period for meetings with President Buhari.

He further questioned how Osinbajo could have submitted a list of 28 names in just a few months, calling Lawal's claims a lie and expressing shock at Lawal's willingness to spread falsehoods.
